Okay, I think I have something for this. Tested it on GL and GLES
machines, it seems to work okay.
- Add a new SDL GL attribute SDL_GL_CONTEXT_EGL:
- Only useful for the X11 video driver at the moment
- Set to 1 for an EGL context, 0 to use the default for the video driver
- Default is 0, unless library is built for EGL only
- Should be set after SDL init, but before window/context
creation (i.e. same place you'd specify attributes for major/minor GL
version)
- After a lot of agony pondering the least-terrible way to go about
it, made it so that X11_GL_LoadLibrary and X11_GLES_LoadLibrary check
SDL_GL_CONTEXT_EGL. If no GL context exists yet, and the attribute
choice doesn't match with the checking function, then it changes all
the function pointers in the video driver and passes control on to the
new LoadLibrary method.
- Likewise, make X11_CreateWindow check this attribute before firing
off a call to X11_GL_GetVisual/X11_GLES_GetVisual
- Added a sanity check to the start of X11_GL_LoadLibrary
- Tidied up SDL_x11opengles.h
- Moved ownership of the gles_data structure over to
X11_GLES_LoadLibrary/UnloadLibrary
- Should incorporate the 3 fixes posted by Andre Heider
This is obviously quite a bit to take in, but is (at least) a proof of
concept for the approach I think EGL/GLX mingling should take. Any
comments/criticism is much appreciated.
Both options default to "yes" via configure, and having libs/headers
for both installed is not unusual.
We default to OpenGL on this compile time combination, but can enforce
OpenGLES via setting the envvar SDL_VIDEO_X11_GLES.
This will be further refined based on community feedback.

We cannot use SDL_VIDEO_GL_DRIVER for both EGL and GLES1/2, so rename
the envvar for EGL to SDL_VIDEO_EGL_DRIVER and keep SDL_VIDEO_GL_DRIVER
for GLES1/2.

Using SDL_UpdateWindowRects () with SDL_Rect instances, that do not clip
to the bounds of the SDL_Window, causes a BadValue error on X11, if shared
memory is enabled:
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for
operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 142 (MIT-SHM)
Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_ShmPutImage)
Value in failed request: 0x5
Serial number of failed request: 67
Current serial number in output stream: 70
Attached is a test program to recreate the behaviour along with a simple
patch for SDL_x11framebuffer.c, which reduces the rect area to the window
bounds.
I am not sure, if XPutImage() is more robust here, so I applied it to the
non-shared memory version, too.
Here is my first rough attempt. "testrelative" feels right to me, but I'd like it someone else tested this, especially compared to Linux/OSX. The "Ctrl+r" to switch between relative and normal mouse movements seems to work flawlessly. With relative mouse movement, the only way to change focus is via keyboard. I'm not sure if that is the correct approach, but that would seem to be the most useful mode for games. Still, if my assumption is wrong, I can fix that no problem.
When subclassing SDLUikitAppDelegate you usually override the -postFinishLaunch
method so that you can (for example) call a different function than SDL_main.
As it is now, however, overriding -postFinishLaunch will bar out the
SDL_SetHint for the idle timer. Attached a simple patch the moves the hint
callback to the -application:didiFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
2.Replaced XKeycodeToKeysym with XkbKeycodeToKeysym since XKeycodeToKeysym is deprecated in newer X11 version
3.Rewrote testime.c since it was disabled after SDL_compat.c removal
4.Take into account common arguments also in testrelative.c
